The Last Pages of Summer There is something about August that always makes me slow down. Maybe it’s the way the evenings begin to arrive just a little earlier. Or the way the lake seems quieter somehow, as if it knows summer is beginning to turn the page. I’m not quite ready for that page… Continue reading The Last Pages of Summer

July: The Summer I Chose to Live the Story
Lake Michigan from the view of my friend's deck. July has been busy. The good kind of busy, the kind filled with family and friends, with suitcases packed and unpacked, and with the miles between Michigan and Texas that somehow always seem to disappear when you're going home. We've traveled from our home in Texas… Continue reading July: The Summer I Chose to Live the Story
Rewrite

And if words could rewrite words, how long would the rewriting go on? As I’m working on formatting my next children’s book,… Continue reading Rewrite
Between the Lines

One Morning in Michigan
As I look out into the morning light, I watch as the moon drifts out of sight. Light fog drifts through the air, Ducks and geese take flight with flair. Frost covers the milky grass, Setting to sleep all the winged ones at last. Through the trees, a last look I take, Waves like an… Continue reading One Morning in Michigan

Tiny galoshes run through puddles, Flash, Crash, Bash, Umbrellas high and smiles wide, Splash, splash, splash! This coming up weekend I make the trek to… Continue reading My April Writing Adventure
